Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Public Affairs is broader than traditional lobbying. While lobbying refers to direct advocacy with political decision-makers, Public Affairs also includes stakeholder management, political monitoring, regulatory affairs and strategic policy consulting. Lobbying is an instrument within the Public Affairs spectrum.
We work completely transparently and compliant with all legal requirements. We are registered in the Austrian lobbying register, follow the code of conduct and document all relevant contacts. Transparency is not only an obligation for us, but the basis for credible and successful advocacy.
Yes, we have years of experience in EU Affairs and a strong network in Brussels. We support clients in EU legislative procedures, assist with EU funding applications and represent interests with the Commission, Parliament and Council. Many regulations originate at EU level - this is where we start early.
We have expertise in various sectors: Energy & Environment, Health & Pharma, Digitalization & Tech, Financial Services, Mobility & Infrastructure as well as Industry & Trade. Each industry has specific regulatory challenges - our team has the necessary sector expertise.
Public Affairs is a long-term discipline. Initial successes such as improved information flow and stakeholder access become apparent after 3-6 months. Substantial political results often require 12-24 months, as political processes have their own dynamics. Continuous presence and strategic patience are important.
Our Public Affairs consulting starts with monthly retainers of € 3,500 for monitoring and basic consulting. Comprehensive Public Affairs programs including active advocacy start at € 8,000 monthly. We calculate project-based work individually. The investment pays off through avoided risks and opened opportunities.
Public Affairs requires close coordination with company management. We establish regular briefings, prepare decision papers and accompany political appointments when needed. The connection between business strategy and political positioning is important - here we act as a bridge.
